In the Middle East \ Arab world the only language they understand is strength through violence and power. They don’t value open dialogue nor civility. I can’t speak for all places but in the countries in which I spent years in their mosques, Islamic schools, and gatherings - it’s a trait I observed and was on the receiving end of.

I do understand geographically the crescent has been a region of constant conquering and upheaval. But the only language Arabs understand is might through strength, brute force and cruelty. Particularly for the weaker members of society such as women and children.

“Take my shirt and lay it over my father's face: he will recover his sight. Then bring your whole family back to me.”

Surah Yusuf verse 93.

In different eras and places among Muslims talismanic shirts were worn under the regular robes of people to offer protection from Nazar and Sihr. It is believed that this tradition dates back to the prophet Yusuf (Joseph). One of the more famous practitioners of this tradition are the Ottomans, sultans such as Cem Sultan and Süleyman-ı Evvel wore them. This Quran verse is what inspired this.

Anyone who respects your Shaykh will never disrespect someone else's Shaykh, and knowing the value of your Shaykh, you will know the value of all the other Shaykhs because your teachings are the same. I don't know anything about any other murīd, but all I know is that a murīd of Shaykh Ibrāhīm Niasse (Allāh’s mercy on him) has no right to disrespect any Shaykh.

Ruba'i by the Sufi poet Mahsati (1098–1185), translated by Paul Smith

After nearly 900 years, Mahsati is highly respected for her courageous poetry that condemned religious fanaticism and prejudices, hypocrisy and dogmas. In the city of Ganjeh in Azerbaijan, a street and a school, an academic institution, a museum and others have been named after her.

When I was a kid I wanted to be a scientist, Doctor seems close enough. Feeling like I am so close to getting all I ever wanted. God willing He will show me mercy.

Finished a Hagiography of Baba Farid al Din Ganj i Shakar and found out that a British historian asserted that Baba Farid was a head or founder of the Thaggs which is curious considering how the jatt marauders he preached to would come to morph into the sikh faith and incorporate his writings into their scripture.

Started reading the Alexander Romance and absolutely loving it. Alexander in this is so quick to murder people he doesn't like and the narrative is beautiful.

I was supposed to pick my girlfriend and her sister for a study session in the park but her sister cancelled so we just chilled at my place and then at her university. Bought gifts for my niece's birthday tomorrow.

Completed notes for pharmacology.

Had a chat about how hectic the routine that Prophet Muhammad followed was and how instead of shying away at the idea of him having 13 wives maybe consider the fact that he managed to keep all of them happy when most men can't even keep themselves from destroying one. Also about how he once killed a man after having regained consciousness following a sword strike to his helmet. Truly anyone who knows him has to accept him as a prophet of the One True God.

Allah is everything, extending Throughout and Beyond their Creation out to infinity, her Hands have fabricated and guide everything, he has written the rules of Creation that we decode

The Chaotic Orderliness of the Universe is their Design, natural algorithms arrange things in complex yet predictable patterns, all living things created from a single being which itself was created from dust and water, and those Atoms which had been forged inside the Hearts of Stars, all of it by Allah's Design

I wish I could go to my Mosque and talk to my Imam about how hard of a time I'm having coping with my molestation.

I know that therapy is like key here but I need spiritual guidance.

I need to hear something, anything about how Allah can help me, about how I can use my faith to help me heal. Some Quran or Hadith verses to soothe me. Something. Just.... just something....

I am alone with this. I am alone with my molestation like I have always been alone with my molestation for 12 years.... I am tired of being alone with it....

“Allah سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَىٰ, through an infinite variety of subtle graces and goodness, invited people to Himself, but they did not respond to His call, so He afflicted them with diverse calamities, that by means of this torment they might return to Him, for He loves His creation.”
